Orthodontic Treatments for All Ages
Every person’s smile is unique, which is why we offer a variety of treatment options at our specialized medical & dental center.
What Is Orthodontics and Who Can Benefit?
Orthodontics is the part of dentistry that focuses on correcting teeth and jaw misalignments. It's for anyone who wants to improve their smile, whether it's due to crooked teeth, an overbite, or a misaligned jaw. Many people think it's just for kids, but adults of all ages are choosing to invest in their oral health and appearance.
However, before starting any treatment, it’s essential to have a healthy mouth. If you have any serious dental issues like extensive decay or gum disease, our experienced dentists will need to treat those first.

Common Dental Questions
If you wear your retainer as directed, your results should last the rest of your life. However, if you stop wearing your retainer, your teeth could drift back into their old positions over time.
You should replace your retainer case to keep your retainer clean and your mouth healthy. An old or dirty case can collect bacteria, which can be transferred to your retainer even after you've cleaned it.
It's time for a new case if:
- You see any cracks or damage.
- The case has a bad smell that won't go away, even after you've cleaned it.
- You've been using the same case for several months.
It's best to avoid soaking your retainer in regular mouthwash. Many mouthwashes contain alcohol or other ingredients that can damage or discolor the material. For a fresh feeling, briefly swish a non-alcoholic mouthwash with your retainer in your mouth. Always wash your retainer with cool water when you're finished.
